Planned Parenthood is using the Zika virus to appeal for taxpayer-financed abortions.
At an event Tuesday in Washington, D.C., a director at the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Chloe Cooney, said, “Zika has made a long-standing public health crisis impossible to ignore and demonstrates the critical need of government support for sexual and reproductive health care.” The comments were first reported by CNS News. " “The ability to decide if and when to have children is basic health care, but it’s a basic human right as wel," Cooney said, "And yet it’s not realized for so many women across the region, which this outbreak is making so crystal clear.”
